Mandazi (Kenyan Doughnuts)

... submitted by charliz16
from Nairobi, Kenya

(To Serve 6)

Two cups warm water
Four cups White wheat Flour
Half a cup sugar
Pinch of salt
Two tablespoons butter or margarine
Quarter cup warm milk
One egg, lightly beaten (Optional can use Yoghurt)
Corn oil for deep-frying.

When preparing the dough, bring all the liquid ingredients to room
temperature and knead them together until the dough is smooth. To make
sure that the Mandazis are not oily, use hot corn oil for cooking. Test
the oil by putting a small piece of dough into the pan. The dough should
gradually sizzle and turn brown. You know that you can cut whatever
shapes you want for the Mandazi before throwing them into the hot oil.
(Did I say throw? Do not throw, the oil will splash on you and its usually
about 360F)
